Gor Mahia will need a ‘miracle’ to produce the biggest second leg comeback in tonight’s (10pm) CAF Confederation Cup quarters away to Morocco’s RS Berkane to progress to the last four.

With bungled travel arrangements, a poor away form in the competition and confidence hardly soaring after losing 5-4 on penalties to Bandari in SportPesa Shield’s round of 16 on Wednesday, the record Kenyan champions, who suffered a 2-0 defeat to the North African side in Nairobi last weekend, have an impossible mission in the return leg.
